What are the most important project management skills f or delivering successful projects every time? \; As a starting point\, project management practitioners should focus on developing skills from t he PMI Talent Triangle: technical project management skills\, strategic an d business management skills\, and leadership skills. They should also emp hasize and apply principles from A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide). However\, not all processes can be applied to every project at every organization. The successful project manager recogn izes the need to adapt practices from the PMBOK® Guide to individual init iatives within their own organization’s process and culture. Research studies have identified the reasons for project failure and reasons for pr oject success. PMI’s Pulse Research identifies a number of key factors a ffecting project outcomes. For example\, 47% of unsuccessful projects fail to meet goals due to poor requirements management. To address this\, it ’s critical for organizations to implement standardized requirements man agement processes in collaboration with stakeholders. There is also the ne ed to develop a formal (agile/traditional) project management methodology\ , implement standardized tools and infrastructure through a strategic Prog ram Management Office (PMO)\, and ensure executive management support for projects. PMI’s Pulse research also shows that having an actively engage d executive sponsors is the top driver of project success. These critical success factors\, when implemented and achieved in collaboration with stak eholders\, can lead to consistent delivery of successful projects. This workshop describes an approach to ensure consistent delivery of successful projects by focusing on major contributors to project success: effective requirements management\, a strategic PMO that implements standardized (ag ile and/or traditional) project/program/portfolio management\, and executi ve management sponsor engagement.
